Killing a Horse: A Coming of Age Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min
Nathanial J. Wright’s poignant tale of painful obligation in the relationships between fathers and children is as soft and understated as it is powerful. A coming-of-age story seen through the eyes of the father, the inevitability of obligatory action in the face of terrible sadness somehow fades beneath the triumph of the human recovery in the light of tragic responsibility. "Killing a Horse" is a remarkable achievement in short fiction. A preview: “I don’t want to kill him.” It was a problem every parent dealt with eventually on a farm. “It’s a kindness.” It really was. She was old even for a horse. She could carry nothing not even a small child upon her back and the plow that had conformed to the stiffness of her back lay undisturbed in the dirt while she strained. “Papa no.” There it was, the one statement uttered by hundreds of generations of farmer’s children. The old man looked into the eyes of his daughter and then again at the lamed horse. She wouldn’t run again, probably wouldn’t even walk again. He watched as the horse tried to get up, rolled on its side, took two half crouched steps and sank back down. His shoulders dropped as he knelt next to the beast and his bushy eyebrows covered his eyes comically like two fattened caterpillars. “Sweetie....” He looked at his daughter’s face and saw the pain and sadness. The girl was crying though the tears hadn’t started yet. He stayed in that half crouch and didn’t even look at her when he said it, couldn’t. As many times as any farmer had been forced to do it, and teach the next generation how, it was never easy. She was a good horse, a fast one. He had raised her from a young filly and fitted the yoke to her neck himself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Koprowski.

Spawn of the Desert , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min
As tense, short story Westerns go, W.C. Tuttle's "Spawn of the Desert", set in the 1850s rugged Southwest mountains, is a splendid, fast-paced example of the classic genre of tales of gold and silver mining towns run by ruthless men, and inhabited by an eclectic population of miners, gamblers, gunmen, drunks, hardscrabble women, and the obligatory "colorful" characters. Tuttle (1883-1969) was one of the most prolific Western writers of his day, with more than 40 novels and short stories to his credit. "Spawn of the Desert" takes place in Calico Town, an adobe-hued silver-mining town, carved out of the sheer rock face of silver-rich Calico Mountain, which rises almost vertically above the town. In its desert setting, the heat is unbearable, the rain never falls, and morals are in short supply. Into this god-forsaken corner of the new West come two remarkable characters: the worldly-wise, heavily bearded, majestic Le Saint and his young partner, gunslinger Duke Steele. Over two ever-challenging days, the Saint and Steele take on the villainy of Silver Sleed - Calico's unchallenged boss - and wrestle with their compassion for Sleed's 20-year-old daughter, Luck. At the heart of the conflict is a tragic backstory of revenge that has driven Le Saint on a two-decade quest across the country. "Spawn of the Desert" is narrated by C. James Moore, whose 2015 narration of Own Wister's sweeping Western novel, The Virginian, captured in thrilling detail the expansion of the West and the drama of Wyoming's vast cattle ranges, emerging cities, romance, and frontier justice. This short story "Spawn of the Desert" takes the listener on a fast-paced journey through the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the American West's legendary tales of riches, jealousy, pathos, vices, violence, and love. ungekürzt.

Exit Stage Left (eBook, ePUB)
For fans of music books from David Hepworth, Pete Paphides, Bob Stanley and Craig Brown, as well as thought-provoking human interest stories like Moondust by Andrew Smith, and books by Jon Ronson, Louis Theroux and Stuart Maconie. Nick Duerden has spent many years interviewing the most famous musicians on the planet. Without exception, they are at their most interesting when they've peaked, and when they are on their way down. In many ways, this is when these former idols are at their most heroic, too, because they reveal themselves not only to be humane and sensitive, but also still driven to create, to fulfil their lingering dreams, to refuse to live quietly. Some remain legends in their own lunchtime, and sustain themselves on the nostalgia circuit. Others continue to beaver away in the studio, no longer Abbey Road so much as the garden shed. The desire for adulation is a light that never goes out. We live in a culture obsessed by the notion of fame - the heedless pursuit of it, the almost obligatory subsequent fallout. But what's it like to actually achieve it, and what's it like when fame abruptly passes, and shifts, as it does, onto someone else?These are tales of heroin addiction, bankruptcy, depression, divorce - but also of optimism, a genuine love of the craft, humility and hope. All of which makes EXIT STAGE LEFT a fascinating, laugh-out-loud funny and often shocking look at what happens when the brightest of stars fall down to earth.Featuring brand new interviews with the likes of: Bob Geldof, Shaun Ryder, Robbie Williams, Roisin Murphy, Stewart Copeland, Billy Bragg, Wendy James, Alex Kapranos, Joan Armatrading, Leo Sayer, Gary Lightbody, Lisa Maffia, Tim Booth, Bill Drummond, Rufus Wainwright, David Gray, and Justin Hawkins.- Shop: buecher

Together
This is not about how we messed things up. This is about what kind of world we want to live in now, and the joy we can take in finding our dignity again. 'If I had to choose just one book that I want everybody of any age to read at this moment in time, this would be it' Brian Eno'Delightful' Yanis VaroufakisIn 2020 protest movements across the world revealed the inequalities sewn into the fabric of society. The wildfires that ravaged Australia and California made it clear we are in the middle of a climate catastrophe. The pandemic showed us all just how precarious our economies really are, and the conspiracy theories surrounding the US election proved the same of our democracies. Those in charge do not have the answers. In fact, those in charge, more often that not, are the problem.So, what do we do? In Together: 10 Choices for a Better Now, award-winning political commentator Ece Temelkuran puts forward a compelling new narrative for our current moment, not for some idealised future but for right now, and asks us to make a choice. To choose determination over hope; to embrace fear rather the cold comfort of ignorance; to save our energy for an unwavering attention on those in power and the destructive systems they uphold, rather than wasting time spewing out anger and outrage online.Above all, this book asks you to choose to have faith in the other human beings we share this planet with.'I am giving Temelkuran's Together to everyone I know.

The Andrews Sisters: The Lives and Legacy of the Famous Singing Trio During the Swing Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
“I wanted to become an Andrews sister. My wish was that they could become a quartet and I’d be the fourth singer.” (June Allyson, actress) The vaudeville era of the early 20th century dominated American entertainment with an endless array of “specialty” acts. Thousands of performers emerged from familiar American lives to test their novel talents with a voracious public in search of the next fad. Violin concertos were played on bicycle pumps, and contortionists defied gravity and the limits of human anatomy. Animal acts of every variety sought to up the ante in bringing the exotic to the American stage. One thread held most of these oddities together. Whatever the talent, it was virtually obligatory in most cases that both humans and animals incorporate singing and dancing into the act. This was particularly true for women regardless of the talent level or genre of specialty. Acts based on family groups became increasingly common, and the genre of sister acts caught fire in the 1920s. Many of these female sibling groups emerged from Midwestern farms and small towns outside the large cities, a phenomenon that is still in play as young women from the American heartland arrive in Las Vegas and Los Angeles on an annual basis to search for stardom. However, in the vaudeville era, the exotic and the odd were often prized above quality, and in the words of author Colleen Cowie, many “performing girls were just pretty young things” of negligible qualifications at best. The appetite for simple beauty and acts based on mindless themes extended to men as well and typified the sort of entertainment a family member might devise for shows in a typical American living room. One female singing group, a hometown trio from Minnesota, stepped into the waning years of sister acts with a quality that at least in their case revived a national interest in the genre. The public psychology that opened the door to the Andrews Sisters has been analyzed extensi ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kelly McGee.

This Fall , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min
Excerpt from the preface: I'm writing this preface retrospectively, on New Year's Day, 2016, just before I open the folder that holds the files that my "book" will comprise, this series of personal essays I wrote during a one-month window this fall, thus the title, starting late October and running until late November. It was a warm, spectacular fall this year, courtesy of El Nino, the ongoingly pleasant days just perfect for a splendorous leaf-fall. I have always loved that time of year, every day such a dramatic change from the day preceding, as if time is accelerated, trying to close down the show before Thanksgiving gets here, nature finally revealing, rapid-fire, all the glitzy layers it kept under wraps in the heat of the summer, like some mega-stage magic show, the pace breathtaking. As you will find out soon, I walk in the woods every day, usually in the morning, for an hour or so, as my wife Carol and I did for years before she passed away last winter. We used to have on those walks wonderfully circuitous conversations about anything and everything all rolled up together, day after day, completely unscripted, always surprising, like elaborate mazes we navigated to pass the time pleasingly together while we walked. We would wonder from time to time what it might be like if we tried to write them down, these meandering, vivid riffs on life, love, time, death, all of it. But, like dreams, about a minute after we got back to the workaday world they were wiped clean, receding simply into our nervous systems as a gathering residue of embodied wisdom, or wackiness, which are, we both agreed, right next to each other, sometimes even simultaneous, on the tachometer of human understanding. These walks and these talks somehow kept us grounded, steady, ready together to take on what we had to take on to make a way in a world where "normal," or at least a convincing simulation of it, is often obligatory. ungekürzt.

Zusammen schaffen wir es!
Auch in der evangelischen Kirche gewinnen multi- bzw. interprofessionelle Arbeitsformen immer mehr an Bedeutung. In den Gliedkirchen der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland (EKD) wird zunehmend Multiprofessionalität in den eigenen Strukturen verankert. Die Spanne reicht von optionalen Pilotprojekten über die Etablierung einer interprofessionellen Kultur bis zur flächendeckenden und verbindlichen Einführung interprofessioneller Dienstgruppen, die sich auch pfarramtliche Leitungsaufgaben teilen. Die hier vorlegten Beiträge gehen zurück auf ein Symposium der VRK-Akademie, die von den Herausgebern initiiert und im März 2021 durchgeführt wurde. Dieses Buch möchte einen Diskussionsbeitrag zur Relevanz des Konzepts multi- und interprofessioneller Teamarbeit im Kontext der aktuellen Transformationsprozesse in mitteleuropäischen Kirchen liefern.In the Evangelical Church multi- and inter-professional forms of work are becoming more and more important. Multi-professional co-working is beingprogressively embedded into the structures of the member churches of the Evangelical Church in Germany. The spectrum of this concept ranges from optional pilot projects to the establishment of an inter-professional culture or to the extensive and obligatory implementation of interdisciplinary work groups that share pastoral management tasks. The articles in this volume, which stem from a symposium hosted by the VRK Academy in March 2021 (initiated by the publishers), discuss the relevance of multi- and inter-professional co-working in the context of the current transformation processes in central European churches.
